I
am originally from north-western Germany and immigrated to Canada about
4 years ago. I was fascinated by the idea of going to North America at
a young age and I was delighted when I finally had the opportunity to
come to Canada. In Germany, I was brought up on a farm which gave me my
love for nature and animals. After I finished high school at a Waldorfschool
in Germany I came to Canada and started a four year degree in Resource-Based
Tourism (BA) at UNBC in Prince George. Over the four years of completing
my undergraduate degree I worked in a variety of tourism-related settings
such as Barkerville Historic Town, the Visitor Information Center in Prince
George, and doing research with Recreational Vehicle (RV) Travelers in
Dawson Creek. It was only months before my graduation that I the idea
of continuing my education with a Master's degree started to form in my
mind. Now that I have started the Master's in the NRES at UNBC, I am very
enthusiastic and excited about it. I am not only very happy that I have
been given the opportunity to continue my education but also honoured
that I am part of CURA. I hope that I will be able to contribute to this
alliance in the best way possible.
